Johannesburg - President Jacob Zuma met National Director
of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) Mxolisi Nxasana on Friday, the presidency said.

"[The two met] to discuss various matters around the
president's intention to hold an enquiry into the NDPP's fitness to hold
office," spokesperson Mac Maharaj said in a statement.

"The president has taken note of the issues raised
by the NDPP."

He said an announcement would be made when all the
processes had been completed.

Earlier this month, Zuma notified Nxasana that he was
considering suspending him pending an inquiry into his fitness to hold office.

Nxasana filed an urgent application in the North Gauteng High
Court in Pretoria this week seeking an interdict to stop Zuma from suspending
him before he had been provided with full details of the allegations against
him and given a chance to make further representations.

Judge Joseph Raulinga postponed his application
indefinitely.

Zuma announced his decision to institute the inquiry on 5
July5, after reports emerged that Nxasana had apparently not been given a
security clearance because of past brushes with the law.
